It's often the case for people to get angry and annoyed when they have lost a job, especially when they worry about the loss of salary and the future.
The drink just adds fuel to the fire, unfortunately.
Try to keep the peace and offer support and understanding as much as possible. It's not easy for the whole family.
Also some professional help may help, especially if he always drinks and gets in a bad mood when things in life go wrong, as they will do.
Be cool, avaoiding argument is the best word for time being.
